I'm a band to sleeve revision waiting for insurance approval but I've subscribed to both of your pages. Maybe I will make one as well :)

Splatt I originally was going to get the band but after meeting with surgeon and visiting utube seeing so many failed bands I decided to air on the side of caution as with my insurance I'm only allowed 1 WLS in a lifetime.

Curvy cakes, it will be the best decision you've ever made to not get the "crap band" I'm happy it has worked for some but for me it was a waste of time and energy

Yeah I was firm on band I felt it was less invasive surgery but as I weighed out my options I feel good about my choice to be sleeved. I can't wait til my surgery date to began this journey I can't tell u how long I've dreamed of being able to get this weight off. I originally had Aetna but my group had a exclusion but I switched carriers had to start my 6 months over but thank God it's finally gonna happen. I'm talking about this has been am emotional roller coaster but we'll worth the struggles.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
